The Jaguar and Land Rover InControl suite of technologies provides vehicle owners with an array of advanced driver assistance systems including emergency response contact as part of the available InControl Remote & Protect™ system. SiriusXM will provide Jaguar and Land Rover vehicle owners with support for personal safety and security services, including:

• Automatic Crash Notification (ACN): Automatically signals a SiriusXM Response Specialist to assist the vehicle's occupant with notifying emergency responders in the event of an accident, provide the vehicle's location, and communicate with the vehicle's occupant until help arrives.
